Blue Jays Happy Hour

The Blue Jays got as close to winning a World Series as physically possible. But, as I am quite certain I do not need to tell you, the Blue Jays did not win the World Series. On an unbelievable playoff ride, an instant classic of a series, and a wild ending beloved by all except the team and fan base crushingly heartbroken by it.

The job isn't done yet, but the Blue Jays have been getting it done, as they bounced back from an 18 inning loss in Game Three to win twice in Los Angeles and, behind another Trey Yesavage performance for the ages, head back to Toronto needing to win just one of the next two in order to become World Series champions. What a world! FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF EVERY EPISODE AND TO UNLOCK ALL OF OUR PL...

After a cap-tip-worthy performance from Yoshinobu Yamamoto in Game Two (and an inexplicable appearance from the Jonas Brothers) the Blue Jays and Dodgers are taking the World Series to California tied at one game apiece. The Jays will need to win one of the next three to get back to Canada with a chance to become champions, and this week we talk about how we got here, and how they might get there....

It's hardly a surprise that a baseball podcast would do a World Series preview episode, but this podcast? Previewing a World Series involving the Toronto Blue Jays??? Still absolutely beyond surreal! From a confidence check, to the latest on Bo Bichette, and all else in between, this week we're talking everything Jays-Dodgers! FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF EVERY EPISODE AND TO UNLOCK ALL OF OUR PLAYOF...

The Toronto Blue Jays will represent the American League in the 2025 World Series after overcoming the Seattle Mariners in an unbelievable Game Seven that, thanks to George Springer, provided us with an instantly iconic moment that will forever be part of franchise lore. What kind of unbelievable dream is this???? FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF EVERY EPISODE AND TO UNLOCK ALL OF OUR PLAYOFF COVERAGE, F...

Here's a free look at our PLAYOFF INSTANT REACTION post for Game Six of the ALCS: i.e. what you're missing out on if you're not on our Patreon, as our coverage of the Jays' magical run continues with post-game reactions, ad-free episodes, and a bonus show every week! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If ever there was a time to use such a corny title for a podcast, it's now. The Blue Jays have brought the ALCS back to Rogers Centre—basically the best outcome imaginable after they lost games One and Two at home—but were unable to take a series lead along with them despite being the better team in their Game Five loss. More intensity awaits! But it didn't have to be this way... FOR AN AD-FREE VE...

The Seattle Mariners did a number on the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre in games One and Two of the ALCS. The Jays now have a mountain to climb as the series shifts to the Emerald City, and need to get their bats going in a hurry. Vibes: Not good!

The Blue Jays' magical run to the ALCS has been great for the aura of the Blue Jays' brain trust so far. But will it endure? Has the relationship between Jays fans and John Schneider, Mark Shapiro, and Ross Atkins turned a corner? Is the answer different depending on who we're asking the question about? In this week's Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, we explore all of these questions. PLUS!: An up...

The Blue Jays have vanquished the New York Yankees—by way of an insanely stressful bullpen game, no less—and are on to the ALCS to meet either the Tigers or the Mariners for the right to represent the American League in the World Series! It's a sublime and surreal moment, but are the vibes better today than after that glorious weekend after they blasted the Yankees in games One and Two to take an...

Daulton Varsho had one of the greatest playoff games in baseball history on Sunday, and somehow it’s, like, the third or fourth thing we need to talk about after a truly unbelievable weekend of Toronto Blue Jays playoff baseball. Vlad setting the tone early in Game One, and Alejandro Kirk having a second straight Game of His Life. Vladdy blasting a Game Two grand slam on the sweetest swing in the...

For this week's bonus show, which we're making freely available for everyone to hear, we each draft a five-man team of non-star/non-rotation members of the 2025 Blue Jays we think have the best chances to become unlikely playoff heroes. Who do you think picked the better team? Let us know! FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF THIS EPISODE AND TO UNLOCK ALL OF OUR PLAYOFF COVERAGE, VISIT US AT patreon.com/BJH...

The Jays know who their opponents in the ALDS will be and, of course, it's the New York Yankees. How are we feeling? How are the vibes? How do the two teams match up? And how should the Jays deploy their starting pitchers? Not the way we expected, it turns out, with Kevin Gausman named the Game 1 starter over Shane Bieber just moments after we finished recording. But nevertheless, we talk about al...

In this week's Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, we size up the Blue Jays' potential ALDS opponents—the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox—and debate which one we'd prefer to see come through the Wild Card round for a visit to Rogers Centre starting on Saturday. FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE AT patreon.com/BJHH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It wasn't easy, it wasn't without drama, and it wasn't without a whole bunch of things going unexpectedly right—and wrong—over the course of the entire season, but your 2025 Toronto Blue Jays are winners of 94 games, the AL East crown, and the right to wait for the Yankees and Red Sox to duke it out in deciding who will be their ALDS opponent. What a world! What a ride! What a team! And, before th...

Alek Manoah was designated for assignment late last week and was subsequently selected off of waivers by Atlanta, ending a once incredibly promising Blue Jays career. And in this Patreon-exclusive bonus episode, we reminisce about how it all went, and where it all went wrong. FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE AT patreon.com/BJHH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Blue Jays have scored one run or fewer in six of their last seven games, and while there's never a good time time to reach such an ungodly level of ineptitude, this exact moment is certainly in the conversation as very possibly the worst. It's ugly out there. FOR AN AD-FREE VERSION OF THIS EPISODE AND WEEKLY BONUS SHOWS, SUPPORT US AT patreon.com/BJHH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for...

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF OUR LATEST PATREON-EXCLUSIVE BONUS EPISODE. Trey Yesavage had one of the most electrifying debuts for a Blue Jays pitcher in recent memory. How do we know? Because in this Patreon-exclusive bonus episode we reminisced about other top prospect call-ups over the years—like Nate Pearson, Alek Manoah, and Marcus Stroman—and discussed how Yesavage stacked up. FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE...

After getting a couple of negative things—Bo Bichette's injury, Orelvis Martinez's release—out of the way up front, we spend the rest of this week's episode vibing out on a Jays team that has won six straight, keeps hitting, keeps showing incredible resilience, has had its bullpen bounce back, has Kevin Gausman pitching like it's 2022, and has added a new playoff weapon in the form of Trey Yesavag...

THIS IS A PREVIEW OF OUR LATEST PATREON-EXCLUSIVE BONUS EPISODE, in which we got a little bit irrational—which, for us, means some vibes-based predictions about the likes of Jeff Hoffman, Alejandro Kirk, Anthony Santander (whose rehab assignment was announced just moments after we recorded, making parts of that segment instantly out-of-date), and the Jays' impotent baserunning attack (which sees t...

The Blue Jays still have plenty of fight in them, but this week they're faced with some real questions, too. The injury to Bo Bichette, the continuing struggles of Jeff Hoffman, and Max Scherzer's potential unravelling all loom large over the club with the playoffs fast approaching. This week we talk all about it, plus some actual positives—like Vlad, Springer, Braydon Fisher, and the impending re...

Let's remember some old guys! George Springer is having an old man season for the ages—one of the best overall offensive seasons in Blue Jays history—and in this week's bonus episode we try to put it into context within the Jays' history of age-35+ campaigns. FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE AT patreon.com/BJHH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Blue Jays' relievers are in a collective funk, their starters aren't doing a whole lot better, time is running out to get the pitching staff sorted, and some guys seem seem less likely to reemerge than others. Fortunately, the hitters—led by George Springer, and with Anthony Santander getting closer to a return—pulled more than their weight this week in Cincinnati, and look poised to lead the...

This is a short preview of our latest Patreon-exclusive bonus show, in which we reassess Shane Bieber after his spectacular debut last week, in preparation for a much tougher assignment against the Brewers in start number two. FULL EPISODE AVAILABLE AT patreon.com/BJHH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Jays stuck it to their most annoyingly miserable fans on Wednesday night with a wild comeback win to salvage a series win over the post-deadline husk of the Minnesota Twins, but a 5-4 stretch against sub-.500 teams and a collective bullpen wobble has frayed a lot of nerves, and this week we try to make sense of what's going on with a huge series against the Brewers on the horizon—not to mentio...
